Selection of scissors

Ron from Fairhall - Renwick - Woodbourne

SharpAs Tool Tips

Pictured is a selection of scissors brought in for sharpening. These are made from cast steel, not cut from sheet steel—usually resulting in a more rigid, higher-quality tool.

Many people have old scissors like these lying around, and with a bit of reconditioning, they can deliver excellent value and performance once again.

If you have scissors, or any woodworking, metalworking, or gardening tools, knives, kitchen utensils, or other items needing sharpening or reconditioning, come and see me:
🔹 Redwood Market – Saturday mornings
🔹 Marlborough Farmers' Market – Sunday mornings
Or contact me directly at 027 444 5535.

Cheers,
Ron

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
